Is Calling A Woman "An Asset" An Insult Or An Appreciation? by r231(m): 9:56am On Sep 19, 2011
Men sometimes refer to their partners as "investments", understandably because of the amount of time, money and material they spend in maintaining their woman.

This has sometimes led to some men tagging their women as an asset.

Ladies, what do you think? do you find this offensive or disrespectful in anyway?

Considering that you are human like men too, is it fair to be tagged an "asset"?

Let me know your opinion on this one.

first let me just say that NOT all woman are equal.
"some" can be assets to a marriage, just as much as the husband will be an asset to the same marriage.
thinking that all woman are assets, when "some" clearly have nothing to contribute to the union, IS the reason why most fail!

now i would certainly understand a man who spends thousands on someone's education (in the hope that she better herself as a future wife) as an investment. just like i would understand a man who spends lavishly on a woman to buy woo her (for possible marriage) as an investment.

I think those sort of men/women are the gold diggers,hence they refer to their partners as 'assets or investments'

I can say the same for you.  Look up the definition of partners.  Partners in relationships can be unmarried or married.  

Some men think if they are paying bride price they are investing in a business.

Investing in a business or they act like they own a property(the women) already?
Bride price is not expensive,except maybe the igbo tradition,but in that case of investment,maybe when a
not well to do man is married to a rich girl,then you might be right on that Chima.

Are you sure about bride prices not being too high unless you Igbo?  r231 is not IGBO and he said N200,000 was too small.   undecided undecided

Let me remove bride price and insert "gifts" because I don't want nobody to start crying.  

Is a gift an investment, r231?
